Sinopsis
Excerpt from Notes on Shipbuilding and Nautical Terms of Old in the North: A Paper Read Before the Viking Club Society for Northern Research
Archaeologists are mostly agreed that these carvings probably date from the bronze age. They represent a weapon, the sword, which did not yet exist in the stone age, and in a form not used in the iron age, but quite typical for the bronze age. The originals copied by the rock-carver must have been without a guard, but two-edged, and rather broader about the middle than up by the grip; these are the typical peculiarities by which the sword of the bronze age distinguishes itself from the guard-hilted, one-edged, mostly straight bladed sword of the iron age.
